Game times and second round matchups have yet to be determined. B4A takes place November 27-29 in the Bahamas with each team playing three games. It is the ninth year of elite collegiate tournament.

Also reported today is that the Tide will host the Richmond in December, date and time TBA. The Spiders are coached by Chris Mooney (13th season). Richmond is coming off back-to-back 20-loss seasons.
